gollark: Does it matter? In most contexts where you *need* to know if something is "alive" there's probably a more specific definition which categorises them better.

gollark: Apparently old pacemakers ran on small RTGs, but people are too uncool to do that nowadays I think.

gollark: > I wonder if it would be possible to engineer a contagious bacteria with rapid reproductive rates to produce a fast acting psychoactive compound when undergoing cellular division, similar to how cholera produces cholera toxin. It would be an interesting non lethal bio weapon that could incapacitate enemy forces in a few hoursIt seems like it's getting cheaper and easier for people to genetically engineer bacteria and stuff, so I worry that within a few decades it will be easy enough that people will just do this sort of thing for funlolz.

gollark: I think I remember this being discussed before? Spirit complained about it.

gollark: Talking about where to get them might be, or at least might cause them to complain.
